Objective:Based on the real-world clinical data of hospital electronic medical records, to analyze the length of stay and healthcare costs associated with in-hospital falls and fall injuries in hospitals.Methods:Based on the electronic medical record system of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, a retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients admitted to these departments reported falls in nursing management information system from January 2017 to December 2019. A total of 38 481 patients from 74 units were enrolled in this study. The patients′ characteristics, falls, falls injury, and explore the length of hospital stay and bottom-up direct cost were analyzed.Results:A total of 243 cases (0.6%) fell and 154 cases (63.4%) were injured by falls from January 2017 to December 2019. Compared with non-fallers, the median length of stay of patients with falls was 19 days, which was significantly increased compared with 7 days of patients without falls ( Z=-15.18, P<0.05). The median hospitalization cost of patients with falls was 39 000 yuan, which was significantly higher than 16 300 yuan of patients without falls ( Z=-11.47, P<0.01). There was no statistical difference between non-injuried fallers and injuried fallers for length of stay and healthcare costs ( Z=-0.92, -0.64, P>0.05). Linear regression model analysis showed that gender, age, comorbidity, inpatient department unit, reason of hospitalization were significantly correlated with inpatient cost and length of stay ( F=280.05, 217.31, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients who have an in-hospital fall have significantly longer hospital stays and higher direct costs, mainly can be attributed to the fall itself, not the injury. Our findings have important financial implications for real world in light of optimal intervention strategies, resource allocation and economic evaluation of fall prevention.

The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) Ⅱwas used to assess the methodological quality of the guideline. Quality evaluation of systematic reviews and expert consensus was conducted according to the appraisal system of the Australian Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-based Health Care Center. The recommended items with the same or similar content were synthesized according to the principle of evidence synthesis, and group discussion was carried out on evidence of conflicting conclusions. The recommendations for nutrition management of T2DM suitable for our national conditions were selected.Results:A total of 5 399 domestic and foreign articles were searched, and 19 articles were finally included, including 8 guidelines, 1 expert consensus, and 10 systematic reviews. The quality evaluation results of 1 guideline were grade A, and 7 guidelines were grade B, and the results of systematic review and expert consensus evaluation were both recommended. According to the principle of evidence synthesis, the recommendations were synthesized, including 5 aspects, namely nutrition management methods, nutrition screening and assessment, energy requirements, macronutrient intake, and micronutrient intake, with a total of 29 pieces of best evidence.Conclusions:Evidence on nutrition management of adults with T2DM is extensive but limited. Macronutrients have similar recommendations. However, there is still a lack of high-quality evidence for micronutrients, especially in terms of whether routine micronutrient supplementation is necessary and the specific intake. Extensive practical exploration and scientific research are needed to enrich the relevant evidence in the field of T2DM.
